Before the ceasefire took effect at 11:15 a.m. this morning, the IDF says it launched airstrikes against several Hamas targets in the Gaza Strip.

The targets included armed Hamas operatives parading on pickup trucks and buildings used by the terror group, the military says.

The IDF also says it fired warning shots to disperse suspects approaching troops in southern Gaza.
